In this video essay, we're taking a closer look at Robert A. Heinlein's cult-classic STARSHIP TROOPERS, why it has been understood by director Paul Verhoeven as well as by subsequent critics and youtubers, and how the political discussion surrounding it has obscured the true archetypal core of the story. With the help of ex-Navy Seal Commander Jocko Willink, I will argue that Heinlein principally wrote his military adventure to reacquaint readers to several age-old principles of leadership and personal responsibility.
